Low fuel shut off for a portable welder generator

摘要

A low fuel shut off for a portable engine-driven welder is disclosed that disables the engine when the fuel level drops below a desired level. The system includes a controller configured to receive the current fuel level signal from a fuel sensor positioned in or near the fuel tank. The controller is connected to a maintenance display that may include a fuel gauge, a visual alarm, and an audible alarm. The controller regulates the fuel supply by actuating a valve and closing the valve when the fuel level drops below the desired level. The low fuel shut off works in conjunction with a visual and/or an audible alarm alerting the operator before and/or after the engine is disabled. The controller is configured to receive data from other engine sensors and can disable the engine if the parameters reach a specified level.
